Nothing to do with jewelry- respect for the heroic

You may never have heard of Tom DeBaggio. He was an herb grower and Alzheimer's patient who died on 21 Feb 2011. When he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, he determined he would record what the disease was like, not unlike a spaceman reporting back to Earth during his one-way voyage to the sun. His courage was breathtaking and a model of achievment through insurmountable odds. Please pray for his family as well. Read his obituary in The Economist here: http://www.economist.com/node/18275908?story_id=18275908&CFID=158122845&CFTOKEN=18507729

Daily Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: so clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your name. Amen

About Me

I think jewelry encompasses art and communication and should make the wearer feel good. I don't wear jewelry just because it is fashionable or wait for my significant other to buy my jewelry- but I love it when he does. My goals include wearing flip flops or Tevas every day and winning the lottery to feed my Verdura obsession.
